The Pre2 is the same phone no matter if it says Palm or HP... it just got rebranded when HP took over.

Edit: WHOA!... you might want to throw some flags up since it says it's on T-Mobile and is Refurbished with moderate-wear. This means it was FrankenPre'd and will not get 3G service at all. The Pre2 was never released on T-Mobile!

Caution, although I have purchased MANY Pre +'s from this reseller , and all have been great transactions, I recently won an auction for a Verizon Pre 2 on eBay from AllTechWholesale for $86.00
After a few day's I had not received a tracking number or any notification of shipment. I contacted them through normal eBay contact the seller channels and they responded a day later with an explanatioin that they could not find the item I won in their wherehouse and apologized for the mistake. They refunded my $86.00 and the $5.00 shipping immediately ..

I just knew it was too good to be true!

P.S. I purchase bad ESN Verizon Pre 2's swap out the comms boards with ATT Pre + comms boards , edit the tokens file appropriately, and then unlock the devices for resale. Works fantastically with a HP/Palm profile and lists the version at 2.1 on both sides. Only drawback is using the web site to determine which webOS doctor to let you download it offers the Verizon Pre 2 2.1 doctor for use, and it will complete installation just fine. Not much of a problem except for the VZW apps which don't work on GSM systems. If I download the Unlocked Pre 2 GSM doctor, it also installs seamlessly on these devices. Think I've managed to create a Pre 2 device without an official identity and which both the official VZW and the official unlocked GSM doctors will install on!

The issue for me isn't 'will it work?', but that yes, it will work but you will not get full data speeds. I have no issues with the reseller... Just that calling the phone "refurbished" is
very misleading. Not starting a whole argument, just my 2 cents.

Great responses, everyone. Thank you very much for all of the input on this thread. I'll have to provide an update after I take delivery.

I'm still very much an intermediate Pre user, so I don't understand why you say that calling the phone "refurbished" is misleading. Can you please exand on that.

PS. It's not that big of a deal for me that I'll be getting 2.5g or 2g data speeds, as I pretty much only use their data services for email. Any heavy data lifting will be done on wi-fi over a 100Mb fiber network.
